So FTE decision time. Option A has Rock(favorable) but also Flying(unfavorable). Option B is unknown but if we evenly split up, Option A is favorable to Electric, Water, Ground and Steel. That alone takes up half the team so I suggested that Sharps(the lone Ice Type who has already decided he’s going up), Krakonos(since Susato is staying behind... I hope lol. Sharps made the decision to go up) and WooWoo to give them some Ghost support.

The rest stay behind. It’s your call on whether you want to venture forth but something tells me that not only Flying Types but Ground(which you’re vulnerable to) and Fire Types may be up there as well. As such I advocated that you stay behind but it’s your call.

Might want to sell your Fishing Rod and Berry first if you can unless they transfer to your new character. Due to the level increase that is likely to occur prior to battle#3, you might be able to go as Ivysaur.

Im curious but are you planning to swap FTE characters again like last time? I ask because if you do plan to swap, I'd recommend picking a Pokemon with Poison Typing. So Bulbasaur, Oddish, Bellsprout, Nidoran, Ekans, Koffing, etc. Could even go Zubat or Seviper. Reason I bring it up is due to Priscilla obtaining the Black Sludge item. It gradually heals Poison Pokemon but we lack a character to equip it on.

*pokes* You may be bowing out but you have to give Lily the Ice Cream once she sprints there. She can't take it from you after having used her action am I right? By the way, if Elwind bites Sliggoo and flinches it, you'll live to see another round.

Round 8 finally up. Seeing as you have Ice Cream in your inventory, I figure Lily will finish Shellos off with Absorb. To prepare for the upcoming boss battle, I'd move to D17 and use your last PP of Synthesis to heal back to full HP while the weather is still good. Something tells me he's going to use Rain Dance soon.

*cough* Round 5 is up. Here’s a rough outline of my thinking. Firstly, I think it’d be wise for you to back off to E20 and firing your last Razor Leaf at Empoleon. It shouldn’t KO it unless it’s a Critical Hit due to your lower Attack power(Sap Sipper expired). With you backed off, Lily can then move to D20 to finish the job with Absorb or use Growth if you get lucky. With Lily safely out of the way, Krakonos intends to go out with a bang(literally) by using his Dynamite. This will be an Explosion(which gains STAB), that affects all Pokémon within a 2 square radius. That affects Tangela(which should fall), Wynaut, Stunfisk and Grimer. For all we know this action might take all four of them with him but in the event Grimer survives, I intend to have Cuddles pick him off with a Water Pulse to remove the Poison Pokemon from olay(that way you and Lily have nothing to worry about unless the Litwicks move north). Then Elwind cuts the tree down while Susato bursts through and makes contact with the Eevolutions(from which they’ll sprint through the gaping hole we’ve made). Down south, I’ll finish Sceptile off while Mags, Litun, Alex and Priscilla Attack Lickitung. Nah swoops around to Sand Tomb Skorupi while Rinnia moves West and fires a Heal Pulse at Mags(bringing her up to 25 HP). WooWoo is free to do whatever he wants this round.

You know a thought crossed my mind regarding Empoleon. If Cuddles finishes off Pawniard for you to move to D20(which should happen if he happens to hit... has -25% Accuracy...), its possible your move may miss due to where Empoleon happens to be. Since he's in the Trees, he may be invulnerable to any attacks, just like any Ghost Pokemon would be if they were in an obstacle. But eh we shall see if Lycan will let it go through. Here's hoping as they say. At least one Outlaw will fall this round(the one I picked ironically enough. Which one did you pick... and regardless... who picks Empoleon, much less Sceptile?!)
